(Disclaimer – my experience was more of a 4 star experience but to be fair it’s not the restaurant’s fault.)

We ordered the tiger roll and BSCR, as well as the tempura udon. I love the tiger roll so much and my partner liked the udon. The food was really amazing. If only we had waited for a shorter time better to come early as soon as it opens.

Service great, our waiter was awesome. In a tatami room, no tatami, and the college girls next to us were screaming loud, “Sake,sake,sake bomb”!!! Beyond loud, we had to leave. For you loud party folks, this may be the place!!!

Friendly service and food was ok. We ordered fried Gyoza which were crispy and not oily. We also ordered 3 sushi rolls but the ahi in one didn’t taste fresh. The booths are currently set up with plexiglass between them for COVID-19 compliance. They also have an outdoor tent dining.

The yakitori was cooked to perfection. Kyoto has been an experience each time that I’ve dined here. Make sure to try at least 3-4 rolls and a hand roll with some warm sake. During these Covid times the spaces are neatly separated for a safe atmosphere. If you’re dining out – make sure to call far in advance so that you get your meal right on time.

My first time and I usually base my grades by food first then service then atmosphere. Well overall 4. Cali rolls average, but I had the salmon skin hand roll and was very very good! Also a variety of veggies for the tempura. My son had there steak teriyaki dinner and was very good. I would go again to try other dishes. Service was attentive but not bothersome. Nice waiters and service with a smile. The place typical Japanese decor with a 70’s/80’s touch. Parking little small and the bathrooms could be a bit brighter. But again overall food was good along with the service. I will go back.

Have been to Kyoto twice now. Very good food. Reminds me of the food I ate when I lived in Numaz/Mishima. Tempura batter is so thin. The shumai was perfect.
